LOUIS fl'l'l,` OF VOONSOG-KET, RHODE AISLAND.

PROTECTIVE LIQUID HOLDER.

Application led May 7, 1923.

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that l, Louis l-lnrU, a citizen oi Canada, residing at llloonsocket, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode island, have invented cc 1in new useful Improvements in Protective Liquid Holders, ot which the following` is a specification.

This invention relates to a 'liquid holder and applier which may be used in connection with various liquids, being particularly use- 'lul in connection with the application or" certain liquids which emit fumes which are disagreeable or injurious to the health, such as the liquid rubber cement which contains a percentage oluaphtha, and which it is therefore undesirable to leave exposed.

rllhe invention has for an object to provide a novel device which will permit of the removal oi a quantity ot liquid from a closed container without. opening the body ot' the uitain uand which will also cause the dia charged liquid to be evenly spread or distributed upon a brush which is used to apply it to the desired part.

For i'urther comprehension of the invention, and oi the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the followdescription and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

Fig. il of the drawings is a vertical sectional view of my improved device, indicating the brush in elevation as in position to receive the liquid.

Fig. 2 is a side View of the device inA inoperative position, with certain exterior parts broken away.

lli l is a horizontal sectional View taken on the line 3MB of liig. l.

As here embodied my improved device comprises a cylindrical container Al0 to which is attached midway between its ends a bracket 11 pivoted as indicated at 12 to a second bracket 13 lixed to a suitable support. At the discharge o'l the container chamber is a horizontal partition member 15 which is spaced a slight distance from the end of the cylindrical wall of the container, and is provided with a central. opening surrounded by an 'ups'tanding annular flange 16, thus providing a small measuring compartment 17 in the end oit' the container. Upon the top of this flange considering the device in its operative position shown in 1, a valve 18 seats and is formed on the upper end otl a Serial No. 637,160.

stem 19 on whose lower end a second valve 2() is mounted, these

valves

18 and 19 being adapted to close the upper and lower ends of the measuring chamber 17 respectively;y while the stem 19 is of such length that both valves cannot be open at the saine time, one closing'just before the other opens.

Fixed to the bottom face of the valve 20 is a disk 22 having a number oi:` perforations 23 spaced throughout the area thereof and provided at its edge with an upstanding flange 24, the top edge of this flange being accommodated in a downwardly opening recess formed by making the bottom ot the main container chamber of less diameter to leave a space between the edge ot' the partition member 15 and the cylindrical wall ot the container. Located in the said recess, and bearing downwardly on the flange 24, is a coiled expansion spring 2G which acts to keep the valve 18 normally closed.

The liquid discharged from the measuring comi artinent is adapted to be received on brush comprising a backing of such diameter as to tit snugly in the projecting lower lpart of the container, and whose bristles 31 engage under the disk 22. Projecting upwardly fromL the back of the brush, and being of somewhat less length than the bristles 81, are a number ot pins 33 which are adapted to engage 'the disk to raise the latter, and with it valves 18 and v20, when the brush is to receive the measured supply of liquid.

To the wall or other support, indicated at S, on which the container is pivoted, I preferably hinge a cover 85 which may be utilized to lit oveil lthe discharge end ot the contaiuer and cover the disk 22 when the device is not being used.

it is believed that the manner of operation and Yuse of my improved device will be readily understood from the foregoing description. ldhen the brush, which is provided with an ordinary handle 36, is to receive a supply of the liquid it is pressed upwardly in the lower end of the container, the pins engaging the disk 22 and opening valve 18 and closing valve 19. The measuring compartment 17 then fills with liquid, after the brush is slightly lowered, spring 26 acting to close valve 18 and open valve 19. The liquid then spreads out on the disk 22 and passes through the apertures 23 in the latter onto the brush, which is then removed.

The container may be reversed when de- Sil sired and the cover 35 engaged over its discharge end, as indicated in Fig. Q. A suitable filling opening, closed by a cap 40 may be provided in the container.

Having thus described my invention what l claim as new and desire to Iprotect by Letters Patent of the United States is as follows: y

' l. A device of the class described comprising a container having a discharO-e opening at one end, an annular flange surrounding said opening and providing a measuring compartment, valves adapted to operate inverselyinimison for controlling inlet and discharge ends of said measuring compartment, and a distributing element fixed to the valve controlling the discharge end of the said compartment.

2. Af device of the class described com-V prising acontain'er having a discharge opening at one end, an annular flange surrounding said opening and providing a measuring compartment,valves adapted to operate inversely in unison for controlling inlet and discharge ends of said measuring compartu ment, and a. distributing element fixed to the valve controlling the discharge end of the said compartment, said distributing element being in the form of a disk having perforations spaced over the areav thereof.

3. A device of the class described comprising a container having a discharge opening at one end, an annular flange surround ing said opening and providing a. measuring compartment, valves adapted to operate inversely in unison for controlling inlet and dischargeends of said measuring compartment, and a. distributing element lined to the valve controlling the discharge end of the said compartment, said distributing element being in the form oi a disk having perfo rations spaced over the area thereof. the side wall of the container being extended to enclose the said disk.

A device of the class described comprising a container having a discharge opening in its lower end, an annular upstanding flange surrounding said opening and 'forming a measuring compartment, a. valve adapted to seat on the upper end ot said flange to close the top of the said compartment, a second valve adapted to close the bottom of the said compartment, a stem on which said valves are fixed, and a perforate disk fixed to thesecond named valve.

5. A device of the class described comprising a container Vhaving a discharge opening in its lower end, an annular upstanding flange surrounding said opening and forming a measuring compartment, a. valve adapted to seat on the upper end of said flange to close the top of the said compartment, a second. valve adapted to close the bottom of the said compartment., a stem on which said valves are fixed., and a pen forate dish fixed to the second named valve, and a spring bearing on said disk to hold the first valve normally closed.

6. A device of the class described comprising a container having a discharge opening in its lower end, an annular upstanding flange. surrounding said opening and forming a measuring compartment, a. valve adapt-ed to seat on the upper end of said flange toi close the top of the said compartment, a second valve adapted to close the bottom of the said compartment, a stem on which said valves are fixed. and a perforate disk fixed to the second named valve, and means pivota-lly mounting said container whereby it may be swung to av position with its discharge end uppermost.

7 A device of the class described comprising a container having a discharge opening in its lower end, an annular upstanding flange surrounding said opening and forming a measuring compartment, a valveadapted to seat on the upper end of said flange to close the to-p of' the said compartment, a second Valve adapted to close the bottom of the said compartment, stem on which said valves are Xed, and a pertorate disk lined to the second named valve, Aand means pivotally mounting said containerl whereby it may be swung to a position with its discharge end uppermost, and a cover adapted to engage whichever end of the container is uppermost.

In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature.
